1. ecstasy: Experienced the two world wars, separations with all the loved ones, agony and ecstasy, he peacefully said goodbye to this world.


1. ecstasy: E He experienced the two world wars, and separationsed with all thehis loved ones, agony and ecstasy, h. He peacefully said goodbye to this world. 1. ecstasy: He experienced the two world wars and separated with all his loved ones. He peacefully said goodbye to this world.

I'm not sure what you meant by this sentence, but I tried to correct it in this way. Agony and ecstacy aren't used properly here.

1. ecstasy: E Having experienced the two world wars, separations with from all thehis loved ones, agony and ecstasy, he peacefully said goodbye to this world. 1. ecstasy: Having experienced two world wars, separation from all his loved ones, agony and ecstasy, he peacefully said goodbye to this world.

While 'experience' can be a noun , 'experienced' is always a verb. Being 'separated from', means you had no choice, being 'separated with' means you decided or took action to separate.

Last year, people were in ecstasy about the stock markets.


Last year, people were in ecstasy_____ about the stock markets. Last year, people were in _____ about the stock markets.

Ecstasy means happiness. I don't see how they'd be ecstatic in this situation (?)

Last year, people were in ecstasy about the stock markets. Last year, people were in ecstasy about the stock markets.

This sentence is grammatically correct, but if people suffered a huge loss in the stock markets, they wouldn't be happy. I suggest using another word to describe their feelings.

Last year, people were in ecstasy aboutover the stock markets. Last year, people were in ecstasy over the stock markets.

I don't know why, this is just how you say it.

They suffered huge loss this year.


They suffered a huge loss this year. They suffered a huge loss this year.

They suffered a huge loss this year. They suffered a huge loss this year.

2. radius This is the only supermarket in the 10-mile radius.


2. radius This is the only supermarket in thea 10-mile radius. 2. radius This is the only supermarket in a 10-mile radius.

2. radius This is the only supermarket in thea 10-mile radius. 2. radius This is the only supermarket in a 10-mile radius.

If I know which 10 mile radius you're talking about, then you ca use "`the` 10 mile radius". * This is the only supermarket in the 10-mile radius around my house.

3. footing When the Queen acceded to the thorn, the UK was an empire on which the sun never sets.


3. footing When the Queen acscended to the thornrone, the UK was.K. became an empire oin which the sun never sets. 3. footing When the Queen ascended to the throne, the U.K. became an empire in which the sun never sets.

3. footing When the Queen acscended to the thornrone, the UK was an empire on which the sun never sets. 3. footing When the Queen ascended to the throne, the UK was an empire on which the sun never set.

This is a simple past tense sentence. Set is irregular in that it doesn't become 'setted', it stays the same: Set→Set

Now it is declining; its financial footing is shaky.

So "Unison" means something more like 'at the same time' than it does 'together'. If you mean to imply an absence of cooperation you will need to use a different word. * The two team members worked in unison, each picking up where the other left off.

This sentence is grammatically correct, but I want to mention that motorists are people who ride motorcycles. If you drive other vehicles, you are not considered to be a motorist.

The fate is fair:; when he bestows you with something, he takes other things away from you. The fate is fair; when he bestows you with something, he takes other things away from you.

The fate is fair: when heIn bestowsing you someone thing, he takes other things away from youexacts from you another. The fate is fair: In bestowing you one thing, he exacts from you another.

When you use a literary sounding word like "bestows", you have follow up the rest of your sentence with language of equal caliper. This is really quite hard to do, I'm a native speaker and still I have a hard time doing it without sounding goofy.
